Stationary storage additions should reach another record, at 57 gigawatts (136 gigawatt-hours) in 2024, up 40% relative to 2023 in gigawatt terms. We expect stationary storage project durations to grow as use-cases evolve to deliver more energy, and more homes to add batteries to their new solar installations.
As the world transitions to renewable energy, advancing sustainable battery technology has been pivotal. Several promising innovations and trends are helping reshape the industry and are set to continue in 2025.
Prices: Both lithium-ion battery pack and energy storage system prices are expected to fall again in 2024. Rapid growth of battery manufacturing has outpaced demand, which is leading to significant downward pricing pressure as battery makers try to recoup investment and reduce losses tied to underutilization of their plants.
Battery-based energy storage is one of the most significant and effective methods for storing electrical energy. The optimum mix of efficiency, cost, and flexibility is provided by the electrochemical energy storage device, which has become indispensable to modern living.
